Honolulu, HI.
Today I saw my first Double Rainbow. (The first one’s faint,
but it’s definitely there.) Also, at Punahou School, shoes
are optional in the classroom all the way through sixth grade.

New York, NY.
It’s not New Year’s until I wind up locked in a
small bathroom with my best friends at a Luau party.

New York, NY.
Backstage with Anthony Veneziale and Arthur Lewis of
Freestyle Love Supreme. Onstage with Andy Suzuki. If
you are suspecting that I engineered this show solely
so that I could surround myself with attractive, talented
men, you’re not far off.

Brooklyn, New York.
Carolers and cookies at my yearly book club.

Paris, France.
Merçi, Monsieur.

Kathmandu, Nepal.
Kathmandu Airport Security: This is the only time in my
life I have seen a “Men”s line so much longer than a
“Ladies” line. Take that, suckers.

Surkhet, Nepal.
Today started with some serious haircuts. Then we went
on a hike for two and a half hours uphill into the Nepali
jungle with twenty kids (ages 4-13) and six adults. We barely
made it back before nightfall. But on the way, Sundar caught a butterfly.

Surkhet, Nepal.
The first three photos are small glimpses into the Kopila
Valley Children’s School. The fourth photo is a gentleman
at work in Surkhet. Also, tonight I made fresh applesauce
with some of the boys, in preparation for Chanukah tomorrow.
Thanks to B.H. for this sweet photo:
